A few fairytalish delights: Robyn & Whitney are featuring "The Three Little Pigs" on
Pen Pals & Picture Books this week. (You must see Whitney's
reenactment starring a blow dryer.) Look at this spectacular "
Hansel & Gretel" birthday party at
Giggles Galore! And look at the "
Little Red Riding Hood" desserts from this party, featured on the
Amy Atlas blog. And we have
this book on hold at the library.

What could possibly be better than vintage versions of fairy tales? Nothing. Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? I love crumbly old books with awesome pictures of well-known stories. Perfect for a dreary day. Happy Wednesday to you, too!
DeleteMY EYEBALLS JUST FELL OUT OF THEIR SOCKETS.
ReplyDeleteHaha - oh no! Sounds messy! ;o)
DeleteI don't have any of those little goldens! They look wonderful! Thanks so much for the link love :) I swear there's nothing like the middle of the winter for comfort reading.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, and yes, the Goldens are great!
DeleteI'm reading Listening for Madeleine: A Portrait of Madeleine L'Engle in Many Voices. It's cool reading all these interviews with people who knew, while referencing all these books that I cherish so much. Perfect January reading for me. :o)
Love all of it! Such cute Eloise Wilkins!
ReplyDeleteAll my favorite LGBs growing up were illustrated by Ms. Wilkins.
